ORAN, Mo. -- A week before the biggest night of her life, Miss Missouri Amber Seyer of Oran said she got a sign that it wasn't her time to be crowned.

As a devout Catholic, she reads from a prayer book every day during Lent. While preparing for the Miss USA pageant in Los Angeles last week, she couldn't resist flipping ahead in the book to see what the prayer was for March 23, the day of the pageant.

The 20-year-old aspiring beauty queen didn't need to read between the lines to understand the prayer's message that day.

"Lord, I need you today, things aren't going as planned. But I know that you will continue to fulfill my purpose in life," read the prayer.

Seyer took the bad news in stride, saying she felt blessed just to be part of the event.
